Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A pot of around 130,000 was in the middle as Francisco Benitez and Jamil Wakil went to the turn on a board of 7♠7♥10♣J♥.
Both players checked to the 9♣ river where Benitez bet 35,000 from early position. Wakil then raised to 130,000 in the hijack.
Benitez came back with a reraise to 420,000, sending Wakil deep into the tank. He burned through multiple time banks before folding as Benitez took the pot without a showdown.
